BURP Pro v2020.2.1 burns CPU and memory without doing anything when in the Scan mode

Once it reaches the 64MB disk space, 131MB memory and 410MB temporary disk space usage, BURP occupies 780M memory according to MacOS Activity Monitor, keeping the fans on for hours with no additional updates in the requests shown by Logger++.

This is not specific to the latest version. I forgot when or if BURP behaved on large projects requiring long scans. The Scan activity does not show as paused (showing the tiny Stop button available). I deleted the limit on the number of errors when Scan needs pausing in the current Scan Configuration but this did not affect the spinning. The only work-around for now is to quit BURP, start it opening the project, resume, wait another few minutes for it to self-saturate. Rinse, repeat.
